Set Bandwidth Limits To Certain Devices On Network?
Mar 18, 2012
I've been having a bit of a problem lately trying to play Battlefield 3 on my PS3 when other computers are running on my network.
I'm looking for a program or method to set bandwidth limits on some devices to try to guarantee the PS3 enough bandwidth to play without lagging.
With the research I have done what I can find is that there is something called Quality of Service (QoS), and traffic shaping -- which are good and fine but I don't believe my Westell router supports them and I don't want to have to do anything crazy with my router.
Also I am currently dual booting Ubuntu Linux alongside Windows XP, and I don't have XP set up because I want to install Windows 7 on that partition once I can read DVDs (in the hardware forum), therefor I would really like to find a Linux program that I can use to shape my network traffic.

Bought a DIR-601 for my sister and her kids for their home. Setup and works successfully. Sis asked if there is a way to give her laptop bandwith priority over the kids devices. As is, they are all sharing limited DSL bandwidth. Reading the manual, I see the QOS feature for specific types of traffic, and other limiters and schedules to shut out certain MAC addresses entirely. But wondering if this throttling feature exists in the router also.

limit the bandwidth used by certain wireless devices on my network. The problem I'm having is of priority. For some reason when someone is watching Netflix on my laptop (wireless) no other device has any bandwith available to it, so while someone is watching Netflix my hard wired desktop can barely load Google.com much less do anything useful.I'm using a Cisco ValetPlus M20 wireless N router.allocating at least a minimum amount of bandwidth to wired devices?

How to confirm the PAT limit on the ACE-20s. I initially read it as 1 million (the NAT limit), however I have since read that for PAT, its 4 million as it uses the connection record information and not xlate.
I've always wondered why the xlate line under 'show resource usage' is zero. If PAT does use the connection record then this would explain why, however its confusing as when running a 'show xlate' command you do see all the current PAT entries.

I'm an electrical engineer by trade, and fairly inept at networking. That being said, I am looking to extend the maximum range of my networking equipment. I have a job which requires around 500' between switches, and am trying to find a clever way to bridge the gap. The span is direct-burial cat5e, and has very low bandwidth requirements. I know you can buy off-the-shelf range extenders, but they are expensive, so I thought maybe I could avoid it.
1. It my understanding that the lower speed protocols (10 Mbps rather that 100, 1000) have a longer maximum operating length, because they utilize a lower frequency and consequently see a lower impedance. If so, are there network switches that I can force to use the lower baseband frequencies?
2. Should I bother trying to find a cable with the lowest characteristic impedance (or will they all be similar)? Cat 5e is pretty good, yes?
3. Should I do half or full-duplex; is this something I can control as well?
4. What network switches are cheap and allow this type of configurability?
5. If I attach other switches to the ends of this 500' ethernet bridge with auto-negotiating feature, will there be any conflicts or they will all get along?

My apartment complex limits each connection to 200KBps but each connection has the same IP so I thought there has to be an easy way to combine the connections. Is there a way to connect the wired network i'm connected to with the wireless one?

I am running a Cisco ASA 5550 in active/standby mode. We are currently running ASA OS v8.2(3)5. I am wondering if there is a way I could limit source IP concurrent connections coming in my outside interface. Does the ASA have a feature/ACL syntax that supports this?

I'm doing a large-scale snmpwalk against an ASR9k (with IOS-XR v4.2.0) running as a provider edge router (full bgp table) and pulling the full contents of the BGP route table. On other routers, this completes within my timeout window, but not on the ASR9k.Figuring that this has to do with CoPP rate-limits, I've adjusted the rate-limits to ridiculously high values.
But still, the walk doesn't complete in an acceptable amount of time. Manual snmpwalks display a rate slower than even 7600s, with occassional stutters. CPU on the box doesn't even register that anything extraordinary is going on (@ 2 - 3%), and "show lpts pifib hardware police location" shows that there are 0 drops against SNMP.I haven't turned yet - either some traffic shaping mechanism or some combination of process scheduling/priority with SNMP.

We currently have ACS 5.4 and Cisco WLC 5508's deployed. We have wireless lobby admin accounts that can login and successfully create and modify guest wireless accounts. What we are trying to do, however, is give the lobby admins the ability to create wireless accounts with lifetimes longer than 30 days. Currently our setup will only allow the creation of permanent accounts (by entering all 0's in the lifetime fields) or accounts that last up to thirty days.

how far apart an Aironet 1410 Bridge can be from the Power Injector (Dual Coax feeds). I just can't find the specification details. The device comes with a 20' and 50' F-type and I'm looking at 150' runs for both ends of the bridge pair.

I was wondering if there is a way to monitor the total bandwidth available at any given time? My ISP claims and is charging me for a certain amount of bandwidth but I suspect that during the day I am getting much less.
I would like to track available bandwidth continuously (or every 5, 10, 15 minutes) and log that data so I can show them the results. I'm on a Mac 10.7 but can use Windows XP also.

what part of active directory can you change your bandwith for the network and monitor how much bandwith is being used.

Without using another box as a router preferably. My Cisco Linksys router doesn't have any options for this but I heard you could possibly install some 3rd party firmware to get around that. This would be a last resort for me What I'm hoping for his some piece of software that could do this

We run a small school and one of our campus sites is quite remote and our internet provider chares big dollars for internet downloads.One of our classes has just been upgraded to run over the internet and involves downloading 6Gig of video each time it is run. This will cost us approximatly $15 for each student and we have hunreds of student. We provide computers for this course work.

I want to control bandwidth of our computers in network. We are using TPLINK routers. I already done ipqos setting in the main router but it doesn't really effective. I also tried ipqos in the routers(which is used as WAP) but it also not effective.

We have 1 mpbs bandwidth line, but most of the time we are getting only 300-500 kpbs download speed, i want to send statistics report to our ISP, what will be best procedure to test the bandwidth report, i have checked in some websites like bandwidthplace and speedtest but these sites are not accurate, how to check the actual bandwidth we getting from ISP against 1 Mbps. We have solarwinds monitoring tool in this i have configured the WAN interface for 1 mbps

Anyway, I have a cable connection with a modem and a D-Link wireless router. Some of the users are abusing the bandwidth, making it difficult for others to surf the net.What's the easiest way to set a bandwidth limit for each user? Also, it is possible to do it through the router as I don't want to keep my computer running the whole time?

My college hostel has a broadband connection in each room, with individual servers, all of which are connected to a central server.Each hostel has a unique ip range(eg 10.3.14.1-10.3.14.255, and others like this, and students are allotted random ips). Each hostel has a particular proxy address that allows us to access the internand by low i mean, quite lowet, and each user has a fixed bandwidth(which is low). My question is, is there a way for one user of a particular hostel to use the bandwidth of multiple users of the same hostel(such that they are in the same ip range, and have the same proxy server for accessing the internet).i.e Is there a way for me to increase my bandwidth by using the bandwidths of other non allocated ips within the range of my hostel, such that with a single broadband connection, i can utilize the the unallocated bandwidth.

I have an internet connection (landline and wifi modem) at my parent's summerhouse as I need it for work. Nobody else does around here so I get constant nagging from neighbours to give them the password. I can't say no however I'm afraid they may use up too much of my bandwith connection which could lead to alot of money being lost from my part. Constant and stable internet is a must for my work. how can I limit the bandwith I give to them? Can I create a second public network with limited bandwith or something like that?

ok i have setup a subnet on my uncles network on which i am running a domain with server 2008. i am using a dlink di 624 router and wanted to know if i upgraded to a 300mbps router would this increase the bandwidth within my network?i know i am limited to what i am receiving from my uncle who is also limited to what he is receiving from the ISP. im not worried about internet speed. i want to increase client to server speed for both lan and wireless.

I am looking to add a new connection between a Cisco 2851 and a Cisco 3745. Currently there are two T1 connections between them for a internal 192.168.5.0 network but I would like to add a ethernet connection to give a larger pipe for when transfering large files via that network. Can I just add the ethernet to the multigroup and shut the ethernet connection down when not needed(to limit it to t1 speeds) or is there some other way of doing this?

I have three laptops (running ubuntu with different kernel versions) with wireless adapter Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945 ABG. Laptop A ----- Laptop B ----- Laptop CI created an adhoc connection in laptop A with: Essid: 'ad_hoc', IP address: 10.42.43.1, Subnet: 255.255.255.0, Gateway: 0.0.0.0, Now the laptops B and C can see the wireless connection 'ad_hoc' and I can connect to them after setting IP 10.42.43.1 and 10.42.43.2 respectively. So, I created the adhoc connection between 3 laptops. Now, I wanted to check the bandwidth between the different paths. The tool iperf was what I used for TCP bandwidth calculation. The bandwidth between A and B was around 4.5 Mbps , between A and C was around 4.0 Mbps but the bandwidth between B and C (B being server) was 677 kbps whereas C being server was 3.99. I don't understand how can the bandwidth drop so high when B was made the server. The system adapters are identical.

I think that my ISP is throttling my bandwidth at the modem . how access full available bandwidth.When the technician installed the fibre optic line and then the modem, he showed me an amazing 77MB/s (about 600Mbps) before the modem!!But after the technician left these were the test results after the router:
1) SpeedTests.net:
averages, after router, show: UP between 56/60Mbps & DN 45/75Mbps
2)Local Server Speed Test:
average: UP 45Mpbs & DN 170Mbps
A Japanese Internet savvy guy explained that NTT East throttles the available bandwidth at the building by specific apartment/modem settings related to individual contract bundles. I signed up for the top bundle: TV, Phone and Internet connections.This is my Hardware/ software setup:
OS: Win7,
Line specs:
Line type: IEC60874-14
Connector type: SC
Core across: 9 micrometers
Clad across: 125 micrometers
ITU-TG-652
NTT East fibreoptic TV/Internet/Telephone bundle (100Mbps best effort) Hikari Next Family Type but 10Mbps is considered within parameters
Asahi ISP Internet contract
Modem:
GE-PON (WAN+Coaxial TV antenna)
"SCM-GE-PON-<H>A GV-ONU D<1>" model
Router:
RT-S300HI (4 Giga ports + 1 phone)
Router & Modem have Japanese firmware which I cannot understand and, according to the NTT East, I must rent both modem and router from them and "will not support any other modem/router setup".I could not understand if it was because of technical or contractual limits.
I have tried to test my throughput after the modem but I could not figure out where the DNS, IP, WAN etc strings of numbers should go and, in the end, I simply cannot connect to the internet from my laptop directly to the modem so I cannot perform the same speed tests after the modem.

I'm wondering if there is an easy way to monitor how much bandwidth is being consumed at any given moment for a home network.specifically, for the incoming/outgoing internet connection.My network is as thus:
DSL Modem -> Wifi Router (Linksys E4200v1 - PPPoE enabled here) -> Gigabit switch -> 2nd Wifi router (D-Link DIR-815 - DHCP disabled, repeats same SSID and password)
Most devices are connected directly into the switch, with one computer hard-plugged into the DIR-815 (I will eventually change this, as the 815 only has 10/100 ports).Basically, I want to easily be able to check how much up/down data is being sent for my internet connection. This means that I cannot use a program on a computer (I've used DL Meter before. Works great, but limited to a single computer).
The Linksys E4200v1 is using standard firmware, but I'm not opposed to loading DD-WRT onto it (was the original plan anyway, just never got around to it), if DD-WRT has this capability.Nice to have feature: Ability to see which devices are consuming what part of the bandwidth. Not necessary, but would be a cool feature.Alternatively, if there is a cheap (like $100 or less deal) box that can interface, say, between the E4200 and the switch, that can do this, that would work as well.
